(4) Century Old Red Bellows Folders Cameras: Includes; I. No.3 Folding Pocket Kodak Model C-5, 1903-1912. The red bellows are pinhole free and supple. The Bausch & Lomb Rapid Rectilinear Lens is clean, clear, and free of any haze, or fungus. A nice piece of glass. I can't say the same for the Bausch &Lomb shutter, the shutter speeds and the f. stops both have problems. The waist level viewfinder is clean and sharp. The format is 3 1/4 x 5 1/2, on 122 rollfilm. II. No. 3-A Folding Brownie Model A 1909-1915. Format "postcard size", 3 1/4 x 5 1/2. The red bellows are soft, free of pinholes and move out smoothly. The waist level viewfinder works fine. The f. stops move nicely, but the shutter sticks a little. The exterior leather is mint. III. No. 2 Folding Pocket Brownie Model-B 1907. The shutter is a Brownie Automatic, which works great on the T.B.I. The glass looks very good. The red bellows are extremely soft, not dry, amazing considering they are 117 years old. The exterior leather is in good shape. This nice vintage camera must have had gentle use and good care. IV. No. 2 Folding Pocket Kodak Model-C 1905-1915. The F.P.K. Automatic Shutter works well and the f. stops move smoothly. The deep red bellows have light leaks. The format is 3 1/2 x 3 1/2. It has a horizontal style for square exposures on No. 101 rollfilm.
